Theatre
The USM Department of Theatre is a vibrant community of artists and scholars who value collaboration, imagination, and excellence. We mentor our students through their undergraduate years and prepare them for a competitive job market.

The Art Gallery in Gorham presents a diverse range of free exhibitions and community art projects during the academic year. Professional artist exhibitions, including the Artists-in-Residence and Visiting Artist programs, are an integral part of the gallery programming.
